A Lively Session.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 22.-The
political struggle between demo-
cratic governor and u republican SEN
ate relating to the appointment of a
railroad commissioner eliminated to-
day in scene of excitement in the
senate, which seems likely to result in
the presentation of articles of impeach-
ment against Lieutenant-Governor
Jones' Upon the announcement that
Governor Hill was about to send in q
message on the subject, republican
member moved the senate adjourn
until Monday. In spite of opposition
from the democrats the motion was
forced to vote. When the call Of
the roll was half completed the COVER
nor's private secretary appeared with
the message, which was passed to
Lieutenant Governor Jones, who oc-
cupied the chair. A republican men,
Der took the floor and insisted on the
roll being called for adjournment.
The chair ruled him out of order and
tho member denounced the ruling OF
the ieutenent-governor rs revolution
ary, and an immense uproar ensued.
The lieutenant-governor finally read
the message himself. When the read
ing was finished Mr.. Vidder said the
action of the presiding officer was an
outrage and disgrace, and it was the
duty OF the people of the state Of New
York to impeach him. The lieuten-
ant-governOr, before announcing the
result OF the vote on the motion to
adjourn, sought to explain his action,
but the republicans refused TO hear
HIM and left the chamber.
